Jan Vesely 10 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (3/23/2014)

Playing in the NBA must really suck. There are these things called “expectations” that follow you around your whole career and cause untold amounts of stress. Jan Vesely has plenty of these so-called “expectations”. These include “having skills other than athleticism”, “the ability to shoot free throws”, and “not being a gigantic bust”. Unfortunately he…

Matthew Dellavedova Career High 14 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/22/2014)

“An Ode to Vegemite” “What greater pleasure can there be Than a piece of toast adorned with thee The sultry lust, the first bite Enter me now, my Vegemite Yeast extract is your main allure Any ills your taste shall cure Invented in 1922 by Cyril P. Callister A treasured representation of Australian culture Maybe…

Richard Jefferson 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/22/2014)

Sometimes I wish I had been making highlight videos back in the early 2000’s. There were a lot of scrubs that I’ve never heard of putting up some good performances, but not only that, today’s washed-up vets were having some monster scoring games of their own. I mean, Richard Jefferson on the Nets dropping 39…

Henry Sims 18 Points/15 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/22/2014)

Time for some thought exercises. I’m going to throw out a randomly-chosen assortment of current NBA big men, and you tell me if it would be the worst frontcourt rotation ever in NBA history. Henry Sims Brandon Davies Arnett Moultrie Byron Mullens Jarvis Varnado Fooled you! The above players weren’t chosen at random – they…

Jonas Jerebko Career High 22 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/22/2014)

The Detroit Pistons are one of the biggest dumpster fires in the NBA. Pretty much nothing has gone right for them except that Drummond looks pretty good. But other than that, disappointment all around. It’s not like we didn’t all see this coming. They have a seemingly talented roster but there is no coherency. No…

Michael Beasley 16 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2014)

The Heat are continuing their strategy of not playing Michael Beasley to save him for the playoffs, letting him play decent minutes only occasionally to make sure he stays hot. At least, I think that’s what they’re doing. It’s hard to tell for sure. It fits in with the “Heat don’t really try during the…

Tyler Zeller Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2014)

Tyler Zeller: least disappointing Zeller brother? Let’s do a rundown. Cody Zeller has shown no ability to score outside the paint despite his new and improved jumper being one of his selling points in the draft. High basketball IQ? People only say that because he’s white. Anthony Bennett has deflected lots of the negative attention…

Luke Babbitt 11 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (3/21/2014)

Luke “Babbers” Babbitt might have the ugliest haircut in the NBA. Actually, it’s a tie between him and Andrei Kirilenko; both have the “hair helmet” thing going, and both of them look stupid. News flash: it’s not the 60’s anymore, half the Beatles are dead, and mod fashion is no longer what’s “in”. Now, if…

Shelvin Mack 18 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (3/21/2014)

Shelvin “Mackaroni and Cheese” Mack almost defies description. I’m struggling to come up with a good analogy for his play style. The closest I’ve got is comparing him to his namesake pasta dish, macaroni and cheese. Shelvin’s scoring ability is the noodles, the main attraction. Without the scoring-noodles, nobody would even want to eat this…

Greivis Vasquez 21 Points Full Highlights (3/21/2014)

Let us have a moment of silence for John Salmons, may god help his soul. Yes, the Raptors’ loss to the Thunder last night was not a fun occurrence for our Canadian friends. Several Raptors had good individual performances, but does it really matter when Kevin Durant takes you behind the Air Canada Centre and…
